Ingredients
For the marinade
- 1.5 kg (3lbs) boneless lamb stew meat cubed
- 2 cups PLAIN yogurt
- 1 tbsp garam masala
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp cardamom
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- 1 tsp ginger crushed

For the curry
- 1½ cups cashew nuts soaked in 2 cups boiling water

- 2 tsp garlic crushed
- 1 tsp ginger crushed
- 1 tbsp garam masala
- ½ tsp ground cardamom
- 1 tsp Turmeric
- ½ tsp cinnamon

Instructions
- Combine the lamb with all the marinade ingredients and mix well. Cover and allow to marinate for at least an hour or overnight in the fridge.
- To make the curry, soak the cashews in boiling water for 10 minutes then blend until smooth.
- In a large pot, heat the ghee/butter and add the onions. Cook until the onions are soft and translucent then add the garlic, ginger and spices. Cook for a minute or two until the pot is dry and the mixture is aromatic.
- Add the lamb and all its marinade, stock/water, cashew paste and a pinch of sugar. Bring to a simmer then reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 1-2 hour until the lamb is tender and the sauce has reduced. Stir the sauce every 20-30 minutes and top up with more stock or water if the sauce is getting too thick.
- Season with salt, pepper and a squeeze of lemon then serve with your choice of side dishes.
